Hum words with pictures,
set deep in her mind,
Colors turn intense,
as she paints her rhymes.
Rhymes open deep zones,
that flow on non-stop,
they carry mixed tones,
so smooth yet quite sharp.
Sharp shadows that dance
inside of her head,
link lyrics with tunes,
sewn tight with clear thread.
Thread made of blocked dreams,
that somehow feel real,
profound messages,
made of tarnished steel.
Steel polished stainless,
reflect pretty views,
finished so shiny,
yet still far from new.
New adventures loom,
with no start or end,
instantly expands,
to somehow extend.
Extends ever far,
blasts past time and space,
intricate designs,
with touches of grace.
Graceful tough lessons,
appear in great sums,
to sketch all portraits,
her silent words hum.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

No problem. You’re the best I’ve seen so far at WordPress. Hoping to find more talents in the community. Do you use Rhymer.com? I see many imperfect rhymes in your poetry, imperfect in its technical sense to have trailing consonants that don’t match, nothing bad about them. It’s a technical term after all, same as visual rhymes, double rhymes and stuffs like that. If you like perfect rhymes, Rhymer.com will be your best friend in poetry writing. With technology or even AI, you’ll soon rhyme better than Shakespeare for sure. I write poems, too, only with AI assistance though. You can visit my blog to have a glimpse.
Thank you. I never studied poetry and write from my heart. I enjoy it as a hobby. Thanks for the tip but I find that coming up with the words on my own is a huge part of the fun. Truly appreciate your input.💕🙏💕
Well, fun is definitely the more important part of the process. I’m a software developer. For me, fun is to discover the patterns of poetry.
Absolutely. I can totally understand that. Thanks for sharing.💕
Thank you so much 💕
“Steel polished stainless” – Wow factor right here! Very clever, you! 💫 ❣️
